There are trees floating down the river the size of a schoolbus!
There was a deadhead sticking up right across the river and just as I asked the th ol lady if that was always there, Jesse come flying in and hit er( loosened it off the bottom) the rain right now is the shits, but me the boy and the wife have front row seats in the cummins. Awesome place to view a race. |

I personally watched the river come up about 3-4 inches in the last 3.5hrs on a red and white starting line stick. |

My engine failliures were 100% my fault and in hindsight, i should have not entered the race but instead did some more testing and tuning, the pressure and long nights got to me and I wasnt thinking straight. Im veryhappy for Whitey and I never doubted he could pull it off. We were hitting 118mph in PR in the circuit in some very rough waters. That was the boats 4th real time off the trailler for a run. Looking at my graphs i was only using about 1200hp and had 1600 on reserve I just didnt have the boat tunned so I wasnt feeding my pump enough water. Im sure after many hrs of testing Dale and I will reach speeds like Ryan was seeing in PR rumor was 142.9mph. I know Dale did see speeds in excess of 130mph already and his boat is in its early stages of development too. |
Dont beat your self up over this your going to be a force to be recond with when you get it all going how you want it.....Cheers JR _________________ Life is Short, Play the cards you get, Go Hard or Go Home..... |

River is super high with major debris floating, they will have a drivers meeting when they all return to decide if they will run the circuits or not.
If not Congradulations GORD! |

Don't they need 500mi in 7 days as per UIM rules. They are only at 444mi right now. Maybe someone who knows the rules better could clarify |
